    My land burned to Ash last year...but this year,the elderberry trees have already grown to over 10 ft.The berries are more brilliant than they have ever been.Every medicine plant has come back 10 fold,and there are even some new plants that wearnt there before.

    Here in the USA, our berries are not posionous to eat raw. We grew up eating them all the time right off the bush. But also, our berries grow on tall plants that are more like raspberries but very tall.

    Only just found your channel and absolutely loving it ♥and all of you. I want to but one of your books but as I'm a little short on money which would you suggest first? I'm very interested in things like this elderberry syrup and the cordials, fruit leather. I'm also Vegan but I gather from the comments, it's best to use maple syrup or sugar as the honey substitute but I was just wondering if any of the honey's you make would work or agave? TIA

  • @ann-marielangrell9777
    @ann-marielangrell9777 3 года назад +1

    Hi there.apologies if you have already answered this question. Do I just gently heat the honey to melt so as not to destroy the goodness. Also. Does the cooking process not kill the goodness. On a side note...I made some before and didn't cook it enough a few years ago and it fermented in the bottled... was explosive!. So transferred to plastic but had to use quickly ! Thanks so much for your inspiration. Irish fan ☘🌟💫
